Total Quantity or Scope

The Fife Health and Social Care Partnership (“the Partnership”) requires to commission a care at home service from a variety of external care providers. Fife’s Health and Social Care Partnership is committed to personalisation and outcome-based services for individuals of all ages and abilities and is seeking to appoint a range of partner organisations to deliver outcome focused support to young people, adults and older people with a range of identified support needs throughout Fife, under a framework agreement. Any partner organisations must be able to demonstrate experience and commitment to innovatively work with individuals within existing self-directed support policies and approaches, and have sound experience and practice in maximising the benefits of individual budgets. They must also evidence strong skills in working with families of individuals. Objectives for the framework are to ensure that individuals have access to support that aspires to the highest level of quality and promotes the right of each individual to direct their own support. This is a flexible Framework which will re-open to new Providers approx. every 6 months. This is the first re-opening period.
